Imagine my excitement when I learned that there was a vegan bakery, Babycakes, only ten minutes away in Downtown Disney.

Obviously I was beyond thrilled.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with Babycakes Bakery, it is basically heaven on earth for vegan dessert lovers everywhere. Babycakes is a vegan bakery which first originated in New York City; there are now also locations in LA and Disney World!

All night I was filled with excitement and anticipation for a delicious vegan dessert at Babycakes.

From the moment I walked through the door my heart began to race as I quickly scanned the selection of desserts: a plethora of neatly decorated cupcakes, chewy chocolate chip cookies, fudgy brownie bites, scrumptious looking doughnuts, and thick slices of various dessert loaves were all on display, beckoning me to order one of everything!

After all, it’s not every day you find a bakery offering any type of vegan baked good let alone an entire bakery filled with delicious vegan goodies!

After about 10 minutes of standing in front of the dessert case contemplating what to order ( I think this annoyed the cashier who clearly was waiting for me to finally make a decision and order) and one game of eenie meenie miney moe (this probably really irritated the cashier) I had finally made a decision, a piece of the pumpkin loaf.

I pretty much love all things pumpkin and I hadn’t had any pumpkin bread since fall, so the pumpkin loaf was something I absolutely could not resist!

The pumpkin bread was delicious and had a cakelike texture. The slight gingery flavor mixed together with the warm fall flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg nicely complimented the rich pumpkin taste.

I will definitely be making a return visit to try some of the other scrumptious goodies such as the cinnamon and sugar doughnut and the brownie cupcake! This delicious vegan bakery is an answer to our prayers fellow vegans and definitely worth a trip(vegan or not)!
